Australian Economic Development Following Two World Wars
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper. There can be no doubt that each of the World Wars changed the direction of economic development in most of the world. Not all countries, however, recognize that they are not capable of defending themselves against an invasion because their population is too small. This was one of the effects of World War I for Australia although it was not until World War II when they concentrated on increasing their population. This paper discusses numerous changes made in Australia as both direct and indirect results of each of these wars. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

This 10 page report discusses the concept of micro-financing and micro-credit and the impact it has on the developing nations of the world.

Should the US Continue to Grant Most Favored Nation Trade Status to China?
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper presenting the universalist's argument that yes, the US should continue to trade with China under the most favorable conditions possible. The paper presents the conservative, and some say uncaring, view as described by economics scholars from the Brookings and Cato Institutes. Those who claim that human rights issues should be paramount are right, but the methods the most liberal would choose are economically misguided. As the paper argues and concludes, human rights issues are best served by keeping the freest form of trade possible with China, thereby not only keeping the country and their human rights issues in the world's spotlight, but providing an economic basis with which to implement change, as well.

A 7 page paper discussing the advantages and disadvantages of membership in the European Union for these two countries, emphasizing the first few months of euro trading.

France has other issues with which to deal. The national ideology is so different from much of the rest of Europe that France likely will have difficulties adjusting, but the promise of greater economic prosperity will make any necessary transition less painful for them.
